Amherstview woman turns 100

Amherstview is about to have another centenarian.

Ethel Geraldine (Gerry) Brunton of Amherstview Retirement Lodge turns 100 on Dec. 23.

“I feel great!” the lively woman exclaims with a smile.

Born at the Women’s College Hospital (WCH) in Toronto on Dec. 23, 1919, Gerry and her late twin sister, Margaret Irene, were the first set of twins to be born that day despite a woman in labour (with twin boys) in the same ward.

According to Diane Brown, daughter of the late Margaret Irene and niece of Gerry, the hospital holds many special memories for their family. The two sisters often shared stories of their birth including their favourite story (passed down from their mother) how Gerry and Margaret Irene had ‘beat the boys’.

At that time, WCH was in a residential house at 125 Rusholme Road with a staff of 19 female doctors and a small contingent of nurses.

Records from the archives show that in 1919, the hospital admitted 985 inpatients and recorded more than 1,100 visits to its outpatient clinic. While most patients were admitted for surgical procedures, expectant mothers composed the next largest category of patients.

Home to host fine art class

For centuries, the healing nature of art has been celebrated around the world.

This January in Gananoque, residents of a retirement lodge and long-term care home will experience firsthand how art nourishes the mind, body and soul.

“It’s really freeing and beautiful,” says Instructor Rhonda Evans about Fluid Art. “There’s absolutely nothing you can do wrong. Anyone can make art.”

Speaking from Glocca Morra Studio in Kingston in early December 2019, the friendly woman smiles as she talks about the fluid art class she’s hosting with her business partner at Carveth Care Centre in early 2020.

“Liquid Glass has a mind of its own, it’s a beautiful pouring medium that does what it wants to do with a little help from class members,” says Rhonda. “It can be quite freeing as there is no skill needed to begin this journey.”

Called Liquid Glass because of the name of the acrylic pouring medium made by TriArt in Kingston, Liquid Glass is not actually glass, but has a glass-like appearance because it is clear and shiny.

“This is something that you have no control over,” says Rhonda. “You just let go and relax, it’s very therapeutic. You have very little control over this paint.”

Expected to be a popular class at the accredited home on Jan. 21, everyone who participates will finish with a one-of-a-kind picture.
